French Phrase
Oui, ta facture est déjà payée.
Meaning
The sentence means 'Yes, your bill has already been paid.' The adverb 'déjà' emphasizes that the payment was made earlier than the listener might have thought.
When to use
Use this phrase when confirming that a customer's or a friend's invoice has been settled, whether in a casual chat, a phone call, or an email. It works in both personal and business contexts, but keep the informal 'ta' only with people you know well.
